I need your help! PodCast Award Nominations

How to Win an Apple iTouchand other great prizes!
[Update: I fixed the podcastawards link…fat fingers! Sorry!]

As you may know, just this past week the computer gremlins accidentally sent out an email from me (it was a repeat message for many of you!). I was so worried that you would be upset with me and instead I received over 100 emails with very kind words of support. I can’t tell you how great it made me feel! So what I thought was a “glitch” turned out to be a gift! Thanks so much!

So, since you already gave me gift this past week, maybe you were wondering what to get me this upcoming holiday season?

I have an idea for the perfect gift… It involves first nominating and then voting for The Public Speaker (if my show wins a nomination). Last year with your help, the show did get nominated, but I didn’t win the category. Believe me I was thrilled just to get nominated. I realized after the fact, that I didn’t do a good job of explaining the nomination and separate voting process. Many people thought the nomination itself was the vote. They didn’t realize that after the shows are nominated, there is a SEPARATE 15 day VOTING PERIOD where people vote once a day for their favorite show in each category.

So, I’m asking your for your help. First to nominate the show. (And if my show gets nominated again, I’ll then ask for your vote. (In the beginning of December the voting period will begin. )

How to Nominate a Podcast Show (You can NOMINATE between Nov 7 – Nov 21, 2010):

P.S. If you decide to nominate the show (oh go ahead, it takes less than a minute www.podcastawards.com) let me know. I’ll send you a THANK-YOU GIFT. (Yes, it’s a bribe and yes, I’m going to trust that you really did nominate the show.

Hey Lisa, I was stuck in traffic this week and jumped into your pod casts, 2 hours later ( still is traffic )but feeling I had made a great discovery… your tips are just what I was looking for. I listen to a ton of Pod casts, mostly medical education, emcrit, Johns Hopkins, ect…As a clinical educator I can not get enough info on effective communication, conflict resolution, critical thinking, competency validation, adult learning stratigies.
Keep up the great tips; I shared your site with my son( Senior at TCU and looking for an internship/job) thanky YOU

Of course you should be nominated! Great communication is so important this day and age. When a person with the ability and drive to help others on this important topic comes along, they must be recognized. So alas, I have nominated your pod of excellence. Thanks Lisa
